    first thoughts on Apogee Rosetta AD on Motu 828 BLA mod

    ok here we go, this year i had my Motu 828 MK1 modded by Black lion audio, the analog stage only. The sound DID improve big time, its not the same soundcard anymore. Today my Rosetta AD 48khz24bit arrived, i did AB tests with music like Tool, some jazz, dubstep and there is a BIG difference...

    OK, a month ago i sent my moto 828 (mk1) to Chicago, for a Black Lion Mod (only analog stage, no clock), received it back, real glad it didn't get lost in the mail, i was very exited to open the box and start testing the thing... difficult part was that i had been listening to my ONBOARD...

    on our last rehearsal my brother "blew" is Marshall jcm 2000 combo, a very silent sound was still coming out of it, like if the preamp and distortion still work, but like the master out seems dead might it be some of the tubes that died during transport?

    does the band have any "input" on how you mix?

    no technical question here, but a few years ago it took me ages before i was able to give the band their final mixdown, i kept on fiddling on it, now all is better, goes much faster. I always mix alone, never let a band watch me do it, but on my last project the band just wanted to come over to...
